Jellyfin for Tizen official app: How to disable Smooth Scrolling? - raulo1985 - 2024-10-06

Hi:

Quick question: is there already an option in the UI of the official app for Tizen to enable and disable Smooth Scrolling?

Context:

I recently installed the app on a relative’s Samsung Smart TV using docker (with Georift’s method) without issues and the app works fine. The thing is that I noticed the UI was extremely slow, almost unusable. I disabled background images and it helped to a point that is usable, but still noticeable slow (and the TV is a recent model).

I researched and found out that others have the same issue, and it appears that it’s related to Smooth Scrolling being enabled by default only for Tizen (and looking at the code, it seems to be the case). All the users with this issue that tried disabling Smooth Scrolling say that it greatly improved the UI experience.

I don’t have the chance to go to my relative’s that often, and I’m going there in a couple of days, so I want to solve this then. Do I have to create a new wgt file with return false for Smooth Scrolling? Or is there already a UI option for enabling or disabling it? Last time I went there I hadn’t researched this yet, so I didn’t look for that option in the UI.

I found this post and the issue is marked as solved with a commit made to the master branch. I’m not an expert when it comes to coding, that commit adds and UI option to control Smooth Scrolling? It disables Smooth Scrolling for all clients including Tizen?

I’ll spend only a couple of days at my relative’s, so I won’t have that much time to troubleshoot, that’s why I ask this in advance.

Thanks!

Looking at the line mentioned in that github issue, turning off smooth scrolling in the OS's browser settings would also turn it off in the jellyfin app.

But if you want a jellyfin app specific change, you'd have to clone the git as documented below.

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-tizen?tab=readme-ov-file#getting-started

And change this line located at jellyfin-web/src/components/scrollManager.js

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/blob/d06b631171d127bddbf05bdfe4dd7ea94cd74c1e/src/components/scrollManager.js#L480

And change it to

Code:
return false;
